I didn't see them online anywhere also....I called stop-tech directly and they got me squared away.
While looking for rotors, they are the same as the 99-03 TL, 01-03 CL, and 01-03 MDX

No, got all four corner drilled replacements and all four corner Axxis performance pads for that price. As soon as I get em on, I will post pics. I am still holding for these damn coilovers...as soon as those come in, I will give up the car for two days to get everything done.
Now I need to find some new brake lines, but goodridge does not carry them for our model car yet...maybe russell...anyone know anything about them?

You can have the lines custom made for you relatively inexpensively at any industrial hydraulic fitting company. Just go to the phone book and look up Hydraulic Equipment & Supplies and make a few calls.

What's wrong with the StopTech brake lines? They have an application for the TSX on their website.

Well... here's something i tried on my year 2000 4runner. I changed the front brake pads to performance friction (which also manufactures pads for Toyota Racing). The pads are actually almost identical to TRD except for the wear indicator. Anyways, i put those on and also upgraded rotors to powerslots. Braking is DRAMATICALLY improved.
Do you think i could do that on the TSX? Upgrade all 4 corners to powerslots and all 4 corners to performance friction carbon metallic pads?
The performance friction does not have a specific part # for the TSX. However, since i read somewhere hear that the RSX type S has the same brakes as the TSX. and since they do have performance friction pads for the RSX type S. Do you guys think that this setup will work?

thanks

The brakes on the RSX-S and the TSX ARE NOT the same.
